US to build part of Texas border wall

The US government is preparing to begin construction of more border walls and fencing in South Texas' Rio Grande Valley, likely on federally owned land set aside as wildlife refuge property.


Heavy construction equipment was expected to arrive starting on Monday, US Customs and Border Protection said. A photo posted by the nonprofit National Butterfly Center shows an excavator parked next to its property.

Congress last March approved more than $US600 million ($A830 million) for 53 kilometres of new barriers in the Rio Grande Valley. While President Donald Trump and top Democrats remain in a standoff over Trump's demand for $US5.7 billion ($A7.9 billion) in border wall funding, US Customs and Border Protection has pushed ahead with building what's already funded.

That construction was often described as fencing, and the government funding bill that included construction was supported by some Democrats in the House and Senate. CBP refers to what it plans to build as a "border wall system".

According to designs it released in September , CBP intends to build 40km of concrete walls to the height of the existing flood-control levee in Hidalgo County next to the Rio Grande, the river that forms the US-Mexico border in Texas.

On top of the concrete walls, CBP will install 5.5-metre steel posts and clear a 45-metre enforcement zone in front.

Maps released by CBP show construction would cut through the butterfly centre, a nearby state park, and a century-old Catholic chapel next to the river.

Many landowners oppose a border wall and have vowed to fight the US government if it tries to seize their property through eminent domain. Court fights over condemning land could take weeks if not months.

CBP said in its statement that it intends to start construction on federally owned land. Environmental advocates expect the government to use land that's part of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

The refuge consists of dozens of parcels of land purchased over the last 40 years to create a corridor for endangered species and other wildlife.

Several dozen protesters were walking on Monday along the river levee where CBP intends to start construction. The butterfly centre said on Facebook that a local police officer had declared all their property south of the levee to be off limits. The centre says it intends to take legal action.

Chapman said that despite months of protests and meetings, he hadn't seen "any attempt" from the US government "to acknowledge and to take the needs of wildlife into account."

"If you were going to design a border wall with maximal impact, you would do exactly what they were doing," Chapman said. "You couldn't do it worse."

Its already happening in several locations....

tell you what, you tell us where exactly it's happening. Every time someone comes up with this gem, they say it's new construction it turns out that is a repair or an upgrade of the existing border security that's already there. But please do, tell us where. So far, not one single inch of new border security has been added to what is already there. But maybe all the rest of us are wrong. You educate us.

That they can’t tell you is all the proof you need to know it’s not being built.

The wall is being built as we speak.

You've seen it? Or you've been told?

Currently being built.... Enjoy!

Please link to a source for that picture. Thanks.

Too bad you're not smart enough to check out a image. That photo was taken in Jul 2016, it was a section of maobama wall. The following is what is being installed today near El Paso. As you can see it's replacing vehicle barriers.

Stupidfuck Trump talks about continuing building his wall.

He does not know the wall is not being built?

How about instead of a wall, ICE deploys drones armed with darts coated with Haldol? Any illegals who cross the border get hit by the tranquilizing darts, and the border patrol loads them on carts and wheels them back across to Mexico before they can come to?

Incorrect Poindexter.

A nice big beautiful border Wall will be built. ..

Yup. That it will. Once up it will save we tax payers billions every year.

Once its up they won't be able to get in and we can boot those that are here out. They won't be able to get back in.

Win, win for America.

I think we're going to have another government shut down and I think that the people who work in government are going to be getting testier and testier with a Democratic leadership that won't compromise at all on the wall. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer see the wall as a political test of wills against Trump and they're not going to blink. That's fine but Chuck and Nancy will have to explain to the government workers (who overwhelmingly vote Democratic!) why it is that they're getting screwed over yet again over a wall that the majority of Americans desire!

Trump is going to get his wall. The question is...how much pain are Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer willing to subject THEIR government workers to prove a point?

Government workers are big fans of Trump after he.....

Denied pay increases
Froze promotions
Forced them to work without pay

What are the chances that a government worker would have voted for Trump before any of that happened? About 5%.

Almost half of federal workers are Republicans

There Are More Republicans in Federal Government Than You Might Think

So the same fencing that has been getting put up for decades under Clinton and Obama. Remember not 1 foot of new types of barriers have been built. That photo op of him with his test walls years ago? NOT ONE FOOT of those designs have been used.

Remember a few years ago when Jeb Bush said Trump is just asking for what Democrats have asked for and built, with more fence?

And What was Trumps response? "Jeb Bush just talked about my border proposal to build a "fence." It's not a fence, Jeb, it's a WALL, and there's a BIG difference! We’re going to have a wall that works. We’re not going to have a wall like they have now,"



Instead we have the Obama/Clinton/Bush design wall in existing places, and fence. The one like they have now. That section you show was literally built by Obama's deal with Congress to replace existing sections in need of repair.

that's the "art of the deal"??? He can't get his own party to build wall in useless places, so Obama the past two years has more walls built at the border than Trump?



So you are saying when Trump said "we are going to build a wall and Mexico will pay for it", you meant "We are going to continue Obama's traditions of border security and we will pay for it"

That's the only reason I can see you'd brag about that picture.

MAGA: Trump's Border Wall has started construction in Texas

Bullshit. The article is from 2017 & says the wall is NOT being builtr.

No wonder Trump lies. His base is so fucking stupid they believe everything the conman-in-chief says.

He knows this morning he's going to get 55 miles of a fence or something, he is going to sign the deal.

Classic Trump.....Claim you won after you lost

He is bragging about how much wall he has built

What has he lost?

He can refuse to sign, and build the wall.

Or he can sign to take care of the paychecks, and build the wall.

Which part do you not understand?

The part where the fat ass is not a dictator.

I know you hate it, but we have something called THE CONSTITUTION.

You know that document you assfucks piss 0n every time you want something.

The wall isn't being built. Trump's just a weird dude.

"I swear the wall is being built, but I'll totally shutdown the government again if the wall I say is in the process of being built isn't being built."

It's kinda like the Stormy Daniels thing...

"I never swore this chick to an NDA, but I'm totally suing her for breaking it."

He could be the worst liar on the planet.

The wall will be built. There was wall being built during the Obama administration.

Fence not wall.

Yep, won't be a wall. I bruised myself rolling around on the floor an hour ago when I heard he was going to sign. Great negotiator? lol lol taking less than what was offered before shutdown. Put it to his base again, but I am sure they will defend him.

Don't know about you but this winning is putting me in a state of frenzy.

ROFL! It's been shown that 95% of them donate to Democrat candidates.

A big wall, a big beautiful wall
And Mexico paid for it
Believe me

Indirectly Mexico would pay because the wall will keep his poor, drug dealing criminals out of this country and Mexico will have to pay for the welfare and incarceration and crime for them. Saving us billions we have to pay for them if they get across the border. He did not get what he wanted but..."sometimes you have to lose the battle in order to win the war". The Dum-Rats just gave him an inch ($1.4 billion) big mistake proving border security is needed and he will get his wall. More than one way to skin a Dum-Rat.

Was he a dictator?
